Condition Rating
Fair

The property was built in 1986, making it 38 years old. While it appears well-maintained and has some modern updates like stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher) and solar panels, the kitchen features significantly dated green countertops and backsplash, along with an older white range and a dated fluorescent ceiling light fixture. One bathroom has a modern walk-in shower, but the other features a strong blue tile in the tub/shower combo that is stylistically outdated. The flooring is a mix of tile and laminate, which is functional but not indicative of a recent high-end renovation. Overall, the home is aged but maintained with occasional updates, and major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1986, the property may have older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future maintenance or upgrades compared to newer constructions.
